MP3 of the Day

Herbert Munro was born on this day in 1899. Munro set the world motorcycle land speed record in 1967 at the Bonneville Salt Flats on a self-modified Indian motorcycle with a 600 cc engine. He went 190.07 mph. His record still stands today and his efforts inspired the motion picture The World's Fastest Indian (2005), starring Anthony Hopkins. That film was inspired by the 1971 short documentary film Burt Munro: Offerings to the God of Speed. Both movies were directed by Roger Donaldson. Today we have the song Motorcycle Boy by COURTNEY LOVE - the band, not the awful celebrity.
